Subject: The Ventriloquist


A ventriloquist visiting Australia walks into a small outback village and
sees a local sitting on his porch patting his dog.

He figures he'll have a little fun, so he says to the Aussie "Hey, mind if
I talk to your dog? "
Villager: "The dog doesn't talk, stupid "
Ventriloquist: "Hello dog, how's it going mate? "
Dog: "Doin' all right. "
Aussie: (look of extreme shock)
Ventriloquist: "Is this villager your owner?" (pointing at the villager)
Dog: "Yep"
Ventriloquist: "How does he treat you? "
Dog: "Real good. He walks me twice a day, feeds me great food and takes me
to the lake once a week to play. "
Aussie: (look of utter disbelief)
Ventriloquist: "Mind if I talk to your horse? "
Aussie: "Uh, the horse don't talk either. . . . I think. "
Ventriloquist: "Hey horse, how's it going? "
Horse: "Cool"
Ventriloquist: "Is this your owner? " (pointing at the villager) Horse: "Yep"
Ventriloquist: How does he treat you?
Horse: "Pretty good, thanks for asking. He rides me regularly, brushes me
down often and keeps me in the barn to protect me from the elements.
Aussie: (total look of amazement)

Aussie: (in a panic) "The sheep's a f*ckin' liar.
